Tranquil Seas: A Male Reader x RWBY Story

Chapter 43: Where It's Wetter

*Y/n POV*

We walked into the cave, surrounded instantly by darkness, and a wet cold.

"Moltres," I said, "Light."

"Way ahead of you." He responded.

He held his hand up, and a small ball of fire lit. Like all of Moltres' fire, it was bright as hell.

"Thanks, buddy."

We continued walking through the oddly cramped tunnel, passing by stalagmites and stalactites. Everything was dripping water, which only confirmed my theory of what this is.

"Exactly what I thought." I said, stopping at a wall.

"What is it Dad?" Zapdos asked.

"Bring the light over here."

Moltres walked over and held the light up, as I inspected the wall.

"Zapdos, read that."

Zapdos walked up and began to read of the wall.

"Dad, this can't be what I think it is..."

"Yep," I said, "Exactly what you think it is."

"What is it bro?" Moltres asked.

"Guys, this is Kyogre's Temple."

They all looked around, not seeing anything spectacular.

"Not much has changed." Celebi said, "I'm hungry."

"Let's keep going."

We kept walking down the long tunnel, and Zapdos walked to me, as Celebi flew to Articuno.

"Dad, I... need to ask you a question."

I gave him a raised eyebrow.

"Strange," I commented, "Is this the same child who told me that he 'didn't need my help' and 'could solve every problem, even those Arceus couldn't.'"

"Bring up comments I made when I was ten," He returned, "Good job, old man. But seriously."

"What is it?"

"You've been around for a while... Do you know... How to... uhh..."

"Spit it out, kid."

"Do you know... how to confess to a girl..." He said quietly.

My eyes went wide. This kid was asking me, for relationship tips.

"Well, uh," I scratched the back of my head, "Damn kid."

I took a deep breath, and sighed.

"Kid, I didn't have a stable relationship until I met Glynda," I said, "Then I nearly f*cked it up with Winter, and that wasn't even my fault."

"So..  you got nothing?"

"Of course I have advice," I said, "Listen, if this girl really likes you, then she'll like YOU."

"What?" He said under his breath, "I think he's losing it."

"I'm telling you to just be yourself," I said, "Plus, you've got an advantage."

"What's that?"

"You're my son," I  answered, "Ladies love us."

I smirked, and he shook his head.

"Just bad Dad, just bad." He said, "Thanks for the advice, I guess."

"Don't dismiss me just cause I'm crazy, kid," I said, pulling ahead of him, "I'm a lot more experienced than you think."

I walked down a little bit more, and came to a large cave, which opened up at least 50 feet up, and 100 feet around.

A faint blue glow came from the other side of the room.

"I've found you."
